Abstract:Objective To explore the risk perception level of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its related factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to enhance their awareness of CKD prevention and control. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 430 T2DM patients admitted to People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from December 2023 to May 2024. Perception of Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease Scale (PRCKDS) was used to investigate the CKD risk perception level in T2DM patients, general information questionnaire was used to investigate patients’ general information, Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) was used to investigate their self-management ability, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to investigate their psychological resilience level. The CKD risk perception levels of T2DM patients with different general information, self-management abilities, and psychological resilience levels were compared, and the related factors of CKD risk perception in T2DM patients were analyzed through multiple linear regression analysis. Results The effective response rate of the survey questionnaire was 95.56%, and the CKD risk perception score of T2DM patients was (86.83 ± 18.20) points. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, education level, attitude towards treatment, education about diabetes and psychological resilience were the factors influencing T2DM patients’ CKD risk perception (t= 16.271, 21.781, 7.697, 5.800, 2.840, P＜0.05). Conclusion The CKD risk perception level of patients with T2DMstill needs to be improved. Medical staff can pay attention to the risk factors according to the patient’s situation, so as to improve the CKD risk perception level of patients.
